Bravely Default 2 is great for people longing for the Final Fantasy experience from the NES era. If you are okay with the long dungeons and repetitive fights, you will enjoy the combinations of different classes in fights in this refreshing game.

Farpoint is exactly what PlayStation VR needed: a shooter with beautiful environments that works well and keeps you entertained for multiple hours.

Inside, from the makers of Limbo, is just like its predecessor - truly amazing to explore. The beautiful atmosphere and the intriguing themes are interesting, even though the game is fairly short and does not succeed in being very challenging.

Overcooked 2 is a safe but great addition to the first Overcooked with many hours of co-op fun. It is not very fresh in gameplay, it offers a great challenge in a great array of stages.

Tiny & Big is an action platforming game with a unique style and cool gameplay. The laser is fun to use and the levels are smartly crafted. Unfortunately it doesn't live up to the high standards of games of the same genre like Portal or Phychonauts, since it's just too short and the developers couldn't get the most out of their gimmick.

Spec Ops: The Line tries to take you on an emotional rollercoaster ride to try and distinguish itself from other 'Hollywood-ish' competitors. It makes you doubt your morality and who your enemy is. These moments usually work well, but don't always tug at the right strings. The complete experience can be seen as a very decent one and a nice surprise at that.

Unlike the Inazuma RPG's on the Nintendo DS, Inazuma Eleven Strikers on the Wii turns out to be just a soccer game. Although, it can't really be called normal, with the options to call in dragons or cause earthquakes to beat your opponents.

On the field we run into a more complex and deeper game, in which it’s all about patience and steel nerves. This is partly because PES 2014 is more a soccer simulator than a game and partly because the game part of it still has many flaws. It’s a promising step for the next generation of PES-games though, that much is obvious.

Hitman 2 does not offer the quality of the 2016 reboot. It is an exciting and challenging stealth game though.

Kids vs. Goblins is a Dutch roleplaying game for the iPad that starts of nicely, takes a more average turn later on but eventually leaves a strong impression with varying challenges and the strategic use of spells.

The AMOLED-screen on the Vita really works in favor of Touch My Katamari since it comes with a rainbow of colors. Unfortunately the story mode isn't particularly long, which cuts the fun assignments, quirky Japanese humor and happy J-pop short.

Need for Speed: Most Wanted is one of the better arcade racing games in the App Store thanks to its fantastic graphics and smooth controls. It doesn't match its console siblings due to a lack of depth and expansiveness, but offers a relatively serious racing experience given its limited form.

An old-school, enticing ghost story, that is indie game Oxenfree in a nutshell. As a player there is not a lot to do besides walking around and having conversations, but the choices you make will influence how this creepy story ends.

Trackmania excels at everything fans fell in love with years ago: a true race with dozens of bizarre tracks and high speeds. The game unfortunately comes with a disclaimer: the different subscriptions, menus and leaderboards are very confusing. That is especially bad for new players, while Trackmania is such a good idea on paper.

If you do not let the graphics get the best of you, Atelier Sophie is a great game to spend time with, full of cute girls and explosives.

Lume is filled with happy colors, cute characters and a few awfully difficult puzzles which will make you want to pull the hair off your head.

Underneath all sorts of technical oddities, lies a strong Silent Hill game. Great use of many creative ideas, the excellent pacing and an atmosphere that always keeps you on your toes makes Silent Hill: Downpour the first Silent Hill game that shows that this franchise has the potential to return to greatness.

This game is better on a handheld system, but it's visual style does look excellent on a bigger screen. The game mixes music and RPG elements perfectly.

Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines is a nice twist to the conventional JRPG by adding base building. The artistic beauty is enjoyable but the pacing disturbs the streamlined gameplay by making up random dungeons.

This tough city builder takes you and your capital delightfully serious, but thinking logically and rationally. Once you figure out the system, the game unfortunately loses its challenge though.

Digital Reality wants to breathe new life into the shoot-'em up genre with Sine Mora. At a glance they succeed with beautiful backgrounds and lots of variation. Other satisfaction can only be extracted from getting the best high scores, because the story is simply all over the place.

The Escapists 2 does not do anything innovative, but it does offer some new features. There are new levels, a possibility to create your own character and new ways of escaping the prison.

Flying Wild Hog tries really hard to modernize the shooter series, while the heart of it is still the same. There are indeed new elements that offer a new experience, but they are also distracting from the shooting action. Unfortunately the story is not great, which makes Shadow Warrior 2 an okay but not excellent game.

Aporia tells a story through environments. It's a game like Myst, that feeds on the urge of wanting to explore, find and search. A good idea, but it does not seem totally finished, which spoils the experience a bit.

Shin chan is like that one holiday at a campsite in the south of France, when summer seemed endless, you made friends effortlessly and finding a shiny card in a pack of trading cards was the highest goal in life. Whether you relax or get bored of that is something to decide for yourself.

Gata Roboto is not a Metroidvania from another world: it does not really do anything wrong, but it does not really do many new things either. The big star in this game is the cat, that apparently is a very capable and cuddly replacement for Samus.

Boom Street is not a Mario Party rip-off. Instead of minigames you play a different version of Monopoly. With that surprise out of the way, this boardgame with Nintendo's mascots is a fun experience for the whole family.

Investigating as a detective may feel a bit traditional in The Smiling Man, but that doesn’t make the story any less exciting. Sometimes you have to dig around in the menus for a bit too long and that can feel a bit cumbersome. Still, it’s surprising to see a Nintendo game deal with such dark themes. That really gives this murder mystery a face of its own.
